Michael Berry’s mad

Any of those words and more will do if you’re trying to describe radio talk-show host Michael Berry’s on-air response to the Supreme Court’s ruling that upheld ObamaCare. Think of Daffy Duck, that unleashed id loved by kids of all ages, and that gives you a sense of Berry’s spluttering fury on KTRH 740-AM this morning. “God, I’m mad!” he told his listeners.

Of course, Berry was only echoing his talk-show cohorts around the country. Here’s Glenn Beck, carried locally on KPRC 950-AM (“Radio Mojo”): “This will make us a better, stronger America. This will ensure that the end of the Obama administration is here.”

Beck put the unofficial Republican presidential nominee on notice: “Mitt Romney, let me tell you something. If you turn out to be one of these mealy-mouthed progressive pieces of crap, I’m telling you right now, you’re in the trouble, brother, because America is not going to sit down. We are tired of getting the same bull crap. We are tired of getting the same bull crap from both parties. You better be a damn conservative that understands small government, none of this bailout bull crap, none of it! None of it! Last call, Republicans! Last freaking call!”

The object of Berry’s ire was directed at the man who wrote the majority opinion. “I’ve torn this studio to shreds I’m so damned mad,” he fumed. “I’m not mad at Barack Obama. I’m mad at John Roberts. . . . It always happens at moments like this. There’s always somebody on our side who says, ‘Well, you know, for the good of the country, let’s just go with the left.’ They never come to our side, never, and there’s always some turncoat traitor on our side willing to go over for the moment.”

He added, “The shame that will be the career of John Roberts … good grief. He should resign. He should resign with egg on his face.”

He also was upset with House Speaker John Boehner — “Bawling Baby Boehner” he called him, and “ridiculous sell-out.” “He could repeal ObamaCare right now. He won’t do it.”

Berry found the hint of a silver lining. “The only good thing to come of this is that people will now see what happens when you leave government to people who want to control your lives.”

Rush Limbaugh agreed. “President Kardashian is on the air as we speak,” he said. “Of course, he’s spiking the football. I’m really concerned here, the amount of power this guy is going to think he’s got. . . . He had a campaign issue taken away from him. One’s been handed to us.”

Limbaugh called the ruling “the biggest tax increase in the history of the world.”

Berry offered a backhanded compliment to the liberals. “You’ve got to hand it to ’em,” he said. “They elected Obama, he gave ’em more food stamps. They elected Obama, and he gave ’em free health care. You’ve got to give him credit. He’s delivering.”

Berry had U.S. Senate candidate and Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz on briefly, shortly before breaking for the Romney response to the ruling. “This is a sad, sad day for liberty,” Cruz told Berry. “Today’s decision is going to strengthen the great awakening, the Tea Party movement to save the country.”

Berry agreed, and called on his listeners to support the fiery Cruz in his runoff battle with Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst — “a conciliator,” in Cruz’s words.

Berry is following in the footprint of Rush Limbaugh, who is a clown rank opportunist. They prey on white’s anxiety about the changes occuring in America and the demise of white supremacy. What a shame in the name of making a buck. They will say anything to turn that buck.

Glenn Beck and his staff stayed late yesterday and had this whole segment of audio of Obama’s greatest hits. Beck stated they were going to play it so that he and his listeners could dance and celebrate if the rulig came out in their favor.

MB, Rush, Beck, and the other conservative pundits who decry this ruling are absolutely right. WAKE UP AMERICA! The evil that is progressive socialism (and the reason it is effective) is that it is a gradual degredation of freedom, and as each generation comes along each one knows less and less freedom until there eventually is none. That should scare the crap out of you if you would pull the blinders off long enough to comprehend the words.

if it takes that long why should I care ….unless of course forced down my throat health care actually delievers adn keep me alive for a couple hundred years then i can see with my own eyes whatchu talking bout LOL

I have to laugh out loud. What a coup for Obama that when they accused him of undermining the authority of the SCOTUS and suggesting that they are not entitled to Constitutional Review. They went on and on (despite the fact that Obama had made no such suggestion) about how the Supreme Court was the authority and if they said it was Constitutional or Unconstitutional, them by golly, it was!

Ha!

That was back when they arrogantly assumed that they could know what the Constitution said without bothering to read it, and assumed that the so-called conservatives on the court would put ideology over the Constituion, and figured striking down the law was in the bag.

Now they can be grown-ups and accept that it is Constitutional, or do what Conservatives so often do, and just pretend they never stomped their feet defending the Court on the very decision at all.

I wish one of these talk show hosts would run for office. Until that day, I wish they would just go away. Extremist on both sides are not part of the problem, they are the problem.

I recently took a break from all media (went to Lake Tahoe) and read 6 books. I can’t tell you how good I feel and how life changing time away from TV, radio and even the internet was. I suggest everyone do this now and then. You will be surprised at how much hatred media injects into your life, behaviour and overall mindset.

Michael Berry fumed: “It always happens at moments like this. There’s always somebody on our side who says, ‘Well, you know, for the good of the country, let’s just go with the left.’ They never come to our side, never, and there’s always some turncoat traitor on our side willing to go over for the moment.”

Maybe because the right has never been interested in the good of the country. Ya think Michael? You just admitted yourself that anyone who has a decent bone in his/her body eventually “goes with the left”.

Yeh, Berry, we’ve seen how the TeaParty can save our country when they voted AGAINST every job creation bill since 2010. Thank goodness the Supreme Court has the wisdom to see what needs to be done.
Actually, you need to be worried about the energy costs in Texas due to deregulation. That’s a whole lot worse than this…in about 3 years.

this is not what David Dewhurst wants right now. The Conservative right will be at the polls for Cruz. We need a fighter who UNDERSTANDS the Constitution. Democrats did get one thing right Chief Justice John Roberts is Bush’s fault like they like to blame everything else on.

“The object of Berry’s ire was directed at the man who wrote the majority opinion. “I’ve torn this studio to shreds I’m so damned mad,” he fumed. “I’m not mad at Barack Obama.

He must have forgotten when the supremes handed the election to GWB a few years back.
Sorry buddy, can’t win ’em all.

Sounds to me like all of them got it right. This is a sad, sad day for American freedoms. The government will now see that through their pact with the SCOTUS and Obama, they can intrude on any and all portions of our private lives. It’s time for conservatives to wake up and rid the country of this filth that is trying to rule us, not lead us.

For the second time, please could you take care and ensure you type Twitter IDs correctly? Less than 24 hours after I asked you to stop posting messages containing my Twitter ID by mistake, you did it again. I have no idea who this other “Michael Berry” is that you keep Twittering about, but it is most certainly not I, and I would appreciate it if you made an effort to correct your mistakes.

So what is wrong on doing something that someone thinks is for the good of the country??? Isn’t that what the Supreme Court is suppose to do??? No matter what party affiliation they are from?
Berry should be the one to resign with glitter in his face…

There’s always somebody on our side who says, ‘Well, you know, for the good of the country, let’s just go with the left.’ They never come to our side, never, and there’s always some turncoat traitor on our side willing to go over for the moment.”

He added, “The shame that will be the career of John Roberts … good grief. He should resign. He should resign with egg on his face.”

Couple of questions; did Berry make his coments from a gay bar? Is Limbaugh concerned the ruling will affect his ability to abuse pain killers? Is Glenn Beck still a thing? These phonies should be careful lobbing stones around while sitting itheir glass houses.The biggest enemy the GOP has is the words of hateful fear mongers. All the magic underwear nin the world won’t get Romney elected.

Michael Berry’s mad
–
Oh? ‘Mad’ as in bat-ship crazy? (shrug)
So, what else is new?
=Choleric! Splenetic! Apoplectic!
–
Ah, he is unhappy about something. Who cares?
=Any of those words and more will do if you’re trying to describe radio talk-show host Michael Berry’s on-air response to the Supreme Court’s ruling that upheld ObamaCare.
–
Which explains the echoing screams and strange popping noises earlier; it sounded like a combination of a beer can being crushed, and a ripe watermelon being dropped on a driveway.
Apparently, the term ‘exploding head’ is a misnomer; it’s more like it collapses like a Submarine beyond its Crush Depth. To no one’s surprise, the victim seems to remain functional…
=(Berry said) “There’s always somebody on our side who says, ‘Well, you know, for the good of the country, let’s just go with the left.’ They never come to our side, never, and there’s always some turncoat traitor on our side willing to go over for the moment.”
–
So, Berry, you would rather that ‘traitor’ of yours stay ideologically pure, rather than do (in your own words) what’s ‘good for the country‘?
Just who is being the traitor here, Berry? Hmmmmmm?
=He added, “The shame that will be the career of John Roberts … good grief. He should resign. He should resign with egg on his face.”
–
Actually, Roberts is merely being the good little Corporatist that he was supposed to be. So-called ‘Obamacare’ would never have passed without the approval of Big Insurance; it is the reason that the Single-Payer option will never see the light of day. It was Roberts’ job to make sure that so-called ‘Obamacare’ passed muster… otherwise, people might start clamoring for something that cuts out the useless middlemen a.k.a. ‘Big Insurance’.
Hence, his convoluted reasoning in justifying his decision.
=Berry found the hint of a silver lining. “The only good thing to come of this is that people will now see what happens when you leave government to people who want to control your lives.”
–
Hardly.
Now, when people start to see the power of (and the powers behind) the Super-PACs, and realize just how little they count for in the actual scheme of things, some of them might begin to realize that groups like OWS are actually on to something.
Don’t look for that sort of thing from Berry, El Rushbo, etc. They are hired Mouthpieces for the Corporate Media–nothing more, nothing less–and the CM has owners of their own. Since those are the targets of OWS, they must be relentlessly mocked by the Mouthpieces.

The only ones that make blatant noises about ‘controlling the lives of others’ are the various far-right Dominionists and other members of the American Taliban; again, not a topic the Mouthpieces are likely to raise (unless it is to agree with them).
=Limbaugh called the ruling “the biggest tax increase in the history of the world.”
(Berry said)”…They elected Obama, and he gave ‘em free health care….”
–
O.k., y’all make up your minds. If it’s a ‘tax increase’, then it’s hardly ‘free’…

At least Michael Berry is trashing his own studio instead of a other people’s property outside a gay bar in Montrose. And what short memory saying Dems never come over to “their” side — how does he think Bush passed his tax cuts and got his bail-outs? But what offends most is his telling listeners that if they vote for any Dems, they are not patriotic. I’d like to see his patent on love of country.

MB is so vitriolic and usually senseless. One of the most ignorant of the talk show hosts. When he can’t get a valid arguement together, the calls people names, like “Mayor PORKER” – His self esteem must be solow to do this. He wouldn’t do it to her face while he was on Council! When the 99% demonstrations were going on in another city, he said that city’s mayor was “probably sleeping with the demonstrators” to let them get away with their actions. A total low-life = Michael Berry!

Wow!…Look at all the Obama worshipping bootlickers criticizing someone who actually has a real understanding of Obamacare. But then again, like Nancy Pelosi, all those in favor never even read the bill either. The jokes on them in 2014, when their employers drop their medical coverage in favor of the $3000 fine, just like the rest of us.

Those GOP loudmouths are always mad about something and never doing nothing for the American people. They are always portraying/misportraying/lying about something, while doing nothing for the American people. Except attempting to divide them. Peace

Berry is an idiot. He’s just making a big deal about this issue so no one talks about his little “gay bar hit-and-run accident” issue. And yes, nmy president is delivering. Being home from Iraq is pretty nice too!

I’m waiting for Berry’s indignant tirade against the local fire department or HPD. Really? My tax dollars pay for cops to come out every time he gets drunk and hits a car at his neighborhood bar? I’ve never even called a cop! The nerve.

Oh darn, how’d I end up on the Democracy Now Blog reading a bunch of liberal blow hard outscream to each other about Berry? So where can I find the Conservative blog in this paper insulting and screaming about liberals?

Obamacare – Biggest Tax Increase in US History.
————–
so what’s new? Government is always about taking from the poor and giving to the married couples making over $250K a year. Even President Bozo Barak is all about the rich and doesn’t care about the poor or even minorities. For Barak it’s about disolving the middle class, making this country only with 2 classes, the rich and the poor. Every single working person will be so heavily taxed, you will have to depend on government for everything. Free Healthcare? It will be paid by the poorest middle class in the world.
